Here's Chapter 4! I feel like these first few chapters have really just been filler ones so that you can start to get to know Roxanne's personality a bit. After this one the story is really gonna be more interactive with the other characters and not just Roxanne. Please review!

I learned that being a twin myself made being friends with Lorcan and Lysander all the easier. Even though Fred and I were technically fraternal twins, that fact didn't change how we looked. The length of my hair (and the whole gender thing) was the only difference between us. Before my hair grew out Fred and I loved using our looks to confuse everyone in the family. Both our eyes shined big and brown like our mother's and our caramel skin was laced with nearly identical freckles. Our hair and our nose where the true Weasley trademarks because though our ginger hair was a bit darker red than Dad's, the contrast between the red and our skin made it seem just a bit brighter. Our faces, our sizes, our weights, even our laughs and smiles were all identical. Gram and Pap couldn't even tell the difference and they raised twins themselves. We never minded what people saw though because we noticed the differences ourselves. Fred had a freckle on his left eyelid that did not exist at all and my face and I had a freckle above my right eyebrow. Dad was the only one who could always tell when it was either me or Fred when we were younger but he was a twin himself so he knew what to look for.
I let that help me distinguish between Lysander and Lorcan. Physically the two were exactly the same. They lacked freckles so I couldn't look for those to be helpful but the one difference I saw was a scar on Lysander's index finger. I never asked how it got there because I did not want them to know how I always knew which was which before they even spoke. However, it was when they were talking that I could really tell which one was around.
They were both a little...eccentric but that kind of came with the territory of being the children of Luna Lovegood. It was really in their eccentricities that set them apart from one another.
Lysander was a bit more blunt with people than Lorcan. He never really considered the consequences of what he was saying when he said it. He just let what he thought out. Lorcan often acted as his mediator. Lorcan was more subtle. He could help people understand that the things Lysander sometimes said were not made with offense in mind just...not said thoughtfully. Lysander would sometimes make outlandish statements that people did not get but Lorcan was always there to filter through what he said for it's true intention. It was strange though because Lorcan was actually far more outgoing than Lysander yet it was always Lysander that would say the most blunt things.
I think that is what really got people confused with them. Lysander, for the most part, was a daydreamer who merely said things when he felt it was relevant. Lorcan somehow managed to be the outspoken mediator. He always thought thoroughly about what he would say next but he still managed to put himself out there to make new friends.
Lorcan and Lysander never confused me though because I knew who they were through and through and it only took me a few days to notice. In those first few days in Ravenclaw I realized that I had already found my two best friends in this school. Fred might not have understood them but I stopped worrying about who I was without Fred when I had the twins on either side of me. I quickly started to think that I could just fine separate from Fred.
